The Origin Story of Mezzacello as told by Rick. Who would buy a property in the city and then adapt it completely to another use?

Rick and I had been searching for a house in Old Towne East (a downtown residential neighborhood in Columbus, OH) for a few years. We talked about what we wanted to do with a house, and what it would be…

What do you do with two vacant lots a low budget, and big dreams. You build and plan! Oh and rebuild the house as well.

A big hole, bigger dreams, some resources, disasters, and a summer later, we have a pond. And there were ducks.

In place composting like you see in nature on the forest floor. A lasagna garden. That is this lesson.

German for Hill Culture, this ancient form of permaculture transforms lifeless, heavy clay dirt into a forest floor and captures CO2.

I have consigned myself that I have built this pond on the site of an ancient Indian burial ground, and is cursed by malevolent spirits.

The blog post where I muse on the intersection between, life, art, physics and metaphysics. A little Rock and Roll, Voltaire, and Newton, with some Clerk Maxwell!
